1. Vs. Fake Undertaker - SummerSlam 1994
As stupid as the Concrete Crypt and Punjabi Prison matches were, they pale in comparison to The Undertaker wrestling, erm, himself at SummerSlam 1994. After the Royal Rumble 1994 shambles, Ted DiBiaise introduced a fake Undertaker (Brian Lee), who wrestled for the Million Dollar Man's money. Paul Bearer got involved and said that he had made contact with the real Undertaker, leading to a battle of the Undertaker's match at SummerSlam. The two men were distinguished by their different coloured gloves and the fact they didn't really look that similar to each other. The whole angle was stupid and the match was a washout. It could have been a cool spectacle, but Lee was not a good enough worker to carry his end of the workload. The two men moved in slow-motion and no-sold each other's offense, making the whole thing rather pointless (why even have the match if you're not going to sell anything?). The real Undertaker naturally won the match and then placed the imposter in the casket to end this silly charade.
